Thank you to all the Bloggy Carnival participants for visiting The Vegetarian Hausfrau!-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Swagbucks is a search engine that rewards you with points for using them instead of yahoo, google, etc. Web searches are something we do everyday, multiple times a day. So, for no extra effort or changes to my daily routine, simply using the Swagbucks search engine (btw, swagbucks uses google as their search engine), I earn points that I use in their Swag store for FREE stuff. Gift certificates, electronics, video games, sports memorobelia, band/music swag, etc.

If you haven't tried Swagbucks before, I encourage you to check it out! They've been very reputable, fun to use, and are catching on like wildfire. After only a couple months, I had enough points for this gift certificate. Again, I'm doing nothing different, but getting free swag. Score!

Now, now, I know what you want... INFO ON HOW TO WIN THE $5 STARBUCKS GIFT CERTIFICATE. Hold on to your Swagbucks, I'm getting there... (wink)

After your done commenting, grab your favorite mocha, latte or hot chocolate, and (I hope) enjoy perusing all the yummy vegetarian recipes I have posted here, on my cooking blog. I love to cook, and love to share great recipes. If you're vegetarian, or have some picky eaters in the house, I have a lot of good food for you!

Special note: This post will stay at the top of the blog all week. New recipe posts on Tuesday and Friday, can be found as you scroll down. This week, I have some tasty treats lined up... Tuesday is Polenta Casserole, and Friday will be Baked Parmesan Dip (gearing up for the Super Bowl!).

I don't use swagbugs, although I have heard of it. My fave drink is flavored hot chocolate! I am an RD who loves to cook so I'm looking forward to looking at your recipes! Thanks for the giveaway!kinderslee@yahoo.com

I've recently joined Swagbucks so I haven't seen any rewards yet. I'll keep trying!! As for Sbux, I'm on a plain coffee kick lately. I think I got latte-d out over the holidays there, so now I just want nice strong coffee :-)give_me_a_latte at yahoo

I'm not a member of swagbucks. My favorite starbuck drinks are the holiday drinks like the gingerbread latte. Why can't they have these year round??? Currently I just don't know what to get. They have some interesting chai things going on now but they aren't as good as those holiday drinks.

Yes I do use swagbucks.I haven't been to a starbucks in so long I couldn't say what I'd buy but I would be like a kid in a candy store because I love it there.Thanks for the giveaway!angelacisco at rocketmail.com

I do use Swagbucks. I stopped using it for a while as the results are severely limited when compared with Google. I received an email from them and started using it again. Now if I can't find it there, I use Google. I am getting quicker points now. :) Thank you for offering this giveaway!eyeslikesugar [at] gmail [dot] com

I actually had my very first Starbucks expierence today. I was picking up the gift card for my giveaway because they are always so popular, and I had their hot chocolate and I am in love. Now I am going back and entering all the giveaways for these gc's so I can have some more LOL.

I too want to join Swagbucks but just haven't done so yet. I too love Starbucks. I like the Iced Caramel Macciato (altho' thank God, I can order it without spelling it) Thanks for the giveaway.sc2466 at comcast dot net

I love Starbucks and even though I can't afford to go often, when I need a special treat for myself, I splurge and get a Caramel Machiatto. It's like dessert with a kick! Thanks for the great giveaway!

I do use Swagbucks although I have not yet redeemed my bucks for anything.Saving for something special, though not sure what that is exactly. As for Starbucks, my favorite drink is a nonfat latte with cinammon and some raw sugar.

Yes, I use Swagbucks as my only search engine. Can't beat the deal of finding the information you need easily AND score swagbucks that can be redeemed for some sweet prizes. Like Starbucks gift cards! My favorite coffee is vanilla latte.

I heart SwagBucks!
